men’s style

Men don’t really go out and shop for fashion pieces the way women do. Most fashion pieces for men are designed to have a specific purpose. While there are ways to mix and match different items to create different looks, some pieces are just not meant for certain occasions.

For maximum flexibility in creating different looks, you want fashion items that are designed to be flexible and timeless. This way, you can pair the item and create different combinations and looks without breaking the usual men’s style norms. To help you get started, here are the essential tips for you to use.

Go with Plain

Plain t-shirts and shirts are much easier to mix and match for different occasions than patterned ones. With plain shirts, you can create anything from a casual look to a formal one just by altering the other fashion items you add to the look.

The same can be said for plain t-shirts. Pair a plain white t-shirt with a bomber jacket and a pair of jeans, and you have the perfect look for a casual day-out. Combine the same t-shirt with a blazer and trousers, and you can attend a semi-formal event rocking the new look.

Choose Your Collar

The type of collar you wear will determine the final look you achieve with the shirt. There are several shirt collars you can choose from. A tall spread collar is more suitable for more formal looks. Point collar offers a more traditional feel, while a cutaway collar can be worn on semi-formal and casual events just as well.

Another important detail to keep in mind is the bottom of the shirt. Shirts with a flat bottom hem are great for casual looks simply because the shirts don’t need to be tucked. The ones with visible tails, on the other hand, must be tucked in and may not be suitable for the same casual looks.

Add Knitwear

Every man should have at least one knitwear item that works well with different fashion garments. A basic knitwear piece is a great replacement for jackets and sweaters. They are warm and comfortable to wear, especially during the colder days of fall and winter.

Just like plain t-shirts, you can pair your favorite knitwear with jeans or khakis. All you need to worry about is the colors you add to the look with the different fashion items you mix and match.

Buy in Sets

The best way to add a lot of timeless fashion pieces to your wardrobe is by buying them in sets. The next time you go shopping, search for items that work well together and buy them in pairs. You can also subscribe to a men’s clothing box to receive new items based on the style you prefer.

Buying in sets also lets you plan ahead for different occasions. Take the fashion pieces you already have and make sure you can create more combinations with the ones you want to buy. Combined with the previous essential tips, dressing correctly for different occasions should be a walk in the park.
